When the 2,834-square-foot building hit the market, the partners immediately saw an opportunity to do more than just relocate production.
“The space was bigger than we needed just for ice cream, so we started exploring what else made sense—and pizza felt like a natural fit,” said Garrahan, who named the restaurant after his daughter’s cat, simply named “Kitty”.
Kitty’s House of Pizza will primarily focus on carry-out service, with limited indoor seating, roughly two dozen seats, designed to serve nearby neighborhoods rather than compete directly with downtown’s crowded dining scene.
The menu follows the same intentional, streamlined, and ingredient-driven approach as Bright Ice.
“It’s a curated menu, not a huge one,” Garrahan said. “We’re planning five to nine pizzas, a couple pasta dishes, some sides, and pints of our ice cream for dessert.”
The pizzas will be cooked in a brick oven, resulting in a rustic, crispy-chewy crust.
Pies will be available in 12-inch and 16-inch sizes, sold by the pie.
While flavors are still being finalized, Garrahan said the focus will be on approachable combinations made entirely from scratch, with rotating specialty pizzas introduced regularly to keep the menu fresh.
“There are a lot of great pizza spots that stick to a standard lineup of pizzas, garlic knots, wings, and mozzarella sticks,” Garrahan said. “We’re looking to create our own lane and offer something a little different.”
